And zero of Saben’s coaching tree has ever beat him it like 16-0. And not even Dabo has beat Nick that much. Jus t saying. So? Dabo has won when it mattered.

Against bama in JHS, Gus usually has a very good game plan and coaches his butt off. Saban isn’t a great game day coach and can be outsmarted. Gus has proven that a few times. It just doesn’t happen often because his teams are way more talented than their competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact that is with any great team. It happens on the rarest occasions and when it does those teams usually end up winning it all. I think that's a silly way to look at football or any sport. It's a product of marketing by Nick Saban. Every press conference after an L: "We didn't play well. We didn't execute." Well, I imagine they'd execute just fine against air. Maybe their struggles have something to do with their opponent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUght2win 6,782 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 15 hours ago, Viper said: The only two I remember coming into the game being more mismatched were 2008 and 2012. Didn't score in either of those. Since 2010, the only one in Tuscaloosa that was close was 2014, where Nick Marshall set the all-time single game AU passing record. Instead, we have a QB that is highly prone to throwing INTs on the road. You are not telling the truth. At all. There is no possible way you think we have less of a chance tomorrow than we did in '15 and '16 with 2 Jeremy Johnson led teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just act like that fact doesn't count either. Against the 12th, 13th, and dead last ranked teams in the conference in yards per game. They are also 11th, 12th, and 13th in scoring.

fredst 9,064 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 People love to say “It’s a rivalry game, anything can happen”. But the truth is the favorite almost always wins the AU-UA game, particularly when one team is clearly superior. Bama is the better team in all phases of the game and at all positions. Like it or not point spreads are usually pretty accurate. If we lose by less than 20 I’ll be pleasantly surprised; if we won it would be one of the biggest upsets in the history of the series. I’ll be pulling and hoping for an Auburn victory but the odds are so long I’ll probably go deer hunting instead of sitting in front of the TV. Hope I get in my truck and get shocked by word of an Auburn win but I won’t be holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always have a chance v bammer at JH. Plus we had Boom’s defense. 2016 bammer averaged 38.8 PPG. AU averaged giving up 17.1 PPG. 2020 bammer is averaging 49.4 PPG. AU is averaging giving up 22 PPG. That’s an improvement of 11 points for bammer. And 5 points in the opposite direction for AU. The difference should be obvious...even to you pumpers.

I feel like the one, two punch from worm and DJ will be sufficient on the ground. Bo needs to slow the game down and make his reads. If happy feet does what he should we will move the ball on Bama. Defensively is where the scheme and execution will make or break us. Our secondary is capable of making big plays. They need to control their emotions and communicate. CKS will have to be creative with the front in order to fill run gaps and get pressure. I have confidence we make this a nail biter! #60minutes!

The 2015 needed a miracle in OT to beat JACKSONVILLE STATE, and gave one of the most embarrassing performances in AU history at LSU ("The Fournette Game"). They came into that game at 6-5 against the future national champs and Heisman winner. In 2016 the entire team was hurt, playing on the road in T-Town, versus an undefeated Bama.
